Pentagon will remove media offices after judge reinstates New York Times press credentials​

The U.S. Defense Department will remove media offices from the Pentagon after a federal judge sided with The New York Times in a lawsuit challenging limits on reporters’ access to the building, a department official announced Monday.

An area of the Pentagon known as “Correspondents’ Corridor” that reporters have used for decades to cover the U.S. military will close immediately, department spokesperson Sean Parnell said. Journalists will eventually be able to work from an “annex” outside the building, which he said “will be available when ready.” He offered no detail about how long that will take.
The Times sued the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in December, claiming the agency’s new credentialing policy violated journalists’ constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Dozens of reporters had walked out of the building rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work.

Another 3D chess move. Hegseth ready, willing and able to prosecute domestic enemies. don't act right, he'll stop you. Take it to court, cry like a little B, get a favorable ruling, then in the real world BAM getting a reap what you sew spanking is a delicious surprise!
